Dill Pickle Dip

It's football season, and you know what that means- dips, buffalo wings and burgers.

(Goooo Seahawks!!)

This Dill Pickle Dip is ah-mazing. I was in charge of a dip for a family party and I know how much some of my family members loooove dill pickles. My dad is known to dip dill pickle potato chips into store-bought dill pickle dip. My 4-year-old gets extra pickles on her cheeseburgers (she calls them pickleburgers). So I surprised them with this gem. And yes, I found it on Pinterest- seriously addicted, folks.
So easy to put this together, and it is addicting!!

I diiiiiieee. My mouth is watering just looking at this!
 
Dill Pickle Dip


1 (8 ounce) package of cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1- 1 1/2 cups chopped dill pickles
1/4 cup finely chopped sweet onion
2- 4 tablespoons pickle juice (more or less for thicker or thinner dip)
1 teaspoon dried dill weed (I used fresh dill to taste)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Use a wooden spoon to stir the softened cream cheese until loosened up and smooth. Stir in all of the remaining ingredients until well blended. Transfer to a serving dish and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving. We served this with chips, but it would be yummy with pretzels too.


This dip is good for up to a week when stored tightly covered in the refrigerator. It may become thinner as the week draws to an end.

Super Bowl Spread 2013

I don't get into football too much, but I've watched the Super Bowl for as a long as I can remember. I like the competitiveness and the excitement. I love the commercials (although, I have to be honest, the last couple of years have disappointed me!) and I love the food! We snack all day long! It feels like Thanksgiving without the turkey!

Below are links to several recipes from our blog that we love for events like Super Bowl. Try one, two, or all of them! They are all easy to make (because we don't make much of anything if it requires a ton of work) and crowd pleasers too!
